A/N: Something I would like to clear up, I think this story is getting some unfair stigma for being "The First Friendship is Magic/Ranma Crossover", there is one that beat this one, "The Wanderer" by Skye Silverwing. It's a pretty good story, for only one chapter so far. And it beat me by a month (exactly oddly enough), so yeah... this is not the first crossover... sorry to those who thought otherwise. Enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 4: Kuno is a Nut Job
Ranma wanted to keep the fact the fact that he turned into a girl as down low as possible.
And falling into the pool was not that way.
The class watched at Ranma-Chan slammed Kuno on the ground next to the pool and retreated into the nearby forest.
Hikaru saw this and knew what she had to do. She ran down the hall and turned the corner.
"Hikaru wait!" said Akane.
She ran after Hikaru and found she was gone.
"Here did she go?" asked Akane.
"You are aware she can teleport, right?" asked Alex.
"I had no idea she can do that in human form." Said Akane.
In a tree outside, Ranma-Chan was wringing out her pants, muttering things about Kuno and a panda.
"Hey!"
She looked down and saw Hikaru holding a teakettle.
"I wanted to apologize what I did earlier." Sighed Hikaru.
"I know about the Ms. Smarty Pants Doll." Said Ranma-Chan, "I know how you feel about school."
Hikaru sighed, she had a problem she had to admit it.
Ranma-Chan started laughing for some reason.
"What's so funny?" asked Hikaru.
"Just think about the notepad and quill so you can help her with her homework." Said Ranma-Chan.
"Hey!" yelled Hikaru.
"We're even now." Said Ranma-Chan.
Hikaru sighed as her hands glowed, the teakettle also began to glow and it floated up to Ranma-Chan.
"I wasn't able to one of the thermoses." Said Hikaru.
"Where did you even get this?" asked Ranma-Chan.
"I got it from the janitor's closest." Said Hikaru.
That was when Kuno showed up.
"Ranma Saotome, where are you!" yelled Kuno.
"I'll distract him!" said Hikaru.
Hikaru appeared before Kuno.
"Who are you?" asked Kuno then he remembered, "You must be one of those new transfer students I heard about."
Hikaru nodded.
"Are you willing to fight me?" asked Kuno.
"I'm not a martial artist." Said Hikaru.
Kuno blinked, that was when he saw her. Truly saw her. The long flowing dark blue hair, the interesting streaks that made a sort of rainbow that went from pink to dark blue.
"You are beautiful." Said Kuno.
"What?" asked Hikaru with a massive sweat drop.
Before Kuno can say more someone kicked in him the face.
"Who did that?" asked Kuno.
That was when he saw the culprit, it was Ran.
Kuno looked at her, her beautiful rainbow hair, he could tell she was much like yet there was something different about it.
"I'll handle him." Said Ran, "You help Ranma."
"What do you mean?" asked Hikaru.
That was when she saw Ranma-Chan was still in the tree… what was worse that she almost dropped the kettle. She was hanging by a tree limb with her feet with out dropping the kettle.
"How did you get like that?" asked Hikaru.
"Don't ask." Said Ranma-Chan.
Ran took a fighting stance.
"You're not going to fight him alone." Said a voice.
That was when Kuno saw the person, which was Alex.
He felt it, that girl, he could she was American, what with the blonde hair, freckles and the way she dressed. He knew right then she was something you didn't see that often… well in Japan that is.
"Are you sure you can handle him, you still are a beginner." Pointed out Ran.
"I can handle him." Said Alex.
"And I'll help if you need it!" said Momo popping up from somewhere.
Kuno's eyes winded, this was a girl he never aw anything like. Her bouncy hair, the way she seemed to bounce and her um… bouncy um… talents.
"But you're not even a martial artist." Said Ran.
"That doesn't mean I can't help." Said Momo.
Both Ran and Alex sighed, it was better to agree than to say no.
"Very well then, which ever shall defeat me I will go out on a date with!" said Kuno.
That Ran and Alex kicked him into the air.
AT the tree, Hikaru was trying to figure out a way to stabilize Ranma.
"Can you hold still for a second." Said Hikaru.
"I'll try." Said Ranma-Chan.
That was when Kuno landed on the kettle… of all things.
Ranma-Chan's eye twitched.
"What are the chances of that happening?" asked Ran.
"Don't ask me." Said Ranma-Chan.
"Where is that coward Ranma." Said Kuno.
Ranma-Chan sighed and dropped him.
"He hasn't figure it out… good." Said Ranma-Chan.
"That hurt you know." Said Kuno.
Ranma-Chan jumped out the tree.
"Come on, let's do this." Said Ranma-Chan.
"Is that a good idea?" asked Hikaru.
"He hasn't figured it out." Said Ranma-Chan.
"You already said that silly!" said Momo.
Ranma-Chan rolled her eyes, as she kicked the upper classmen, as she gave him the beating, she looked at her.
Her red hair placed into the pigtail, not only that but the skills. She was just as skilled as Akane… no far more skilled.
He landed with a thud.
"And guess what, Ranma Saotome is better than me." said Ranma-Chan.
"Is he okay?"
Kuno looked up and saw two more girls. Chiyo and Belle.
Both were very different.
Her pink hair, her sad eyes. She looked like she was fragile and delicate. Not only that but it looked like if she talked it would only come out in shy squeaks.
"Don't ask that about him." Sid Belle, "You heard what he did."
Kuno couldn't help but to stare, she was the exact opposite of her companion. She was glowing with confidence, not only but the way her hair was curled, a lot great effort was put into it. Not only that but he could tell, she wasn't from Japan but had a reopening feel to her.
"Hey!" came Akane's voice.
"There you are." Said Shampoo.
"Come on guys, let's go home." Said Ranma-Chan.
"School isn't over yet." Pointed out Akane.
"And lunch didn't even happen yet." Said Momo.
"I don't even think we've been here an hour." Pointed out Hikaru.
Ranma-Chan sweat dropped when she said that.
Sometime later, Kuno was mulling over things in class.
"What's wrong Kuno baby." Said Nabiki.
"Those transfer students." Said Kuno, "Are all of them staying at your house?"
"Yeah, why?" asked Nabiki.
"Tell me, what's the name of the girl with the blue hair, the one with the streaks?" asked Kuno.
"Why should I tell you?" asked Nabiki.
Kuno sighed and knew her game, he took out wad of cash, "1,000 yen for every name you give me."
"Deal." Said Nabiki, "Her name is Hikaru."
Kuno, paid her the money, took out some paper and began to compose a letter, when he was done.
"Now what's the name of the one with the rainbow hair." Said Kuno.
"Ran…" said Nabiki.
Kuno once again paid her and began to write another letter.
"The American." Said Kuno.
"Alex…" said Nabiki.
Kuno as one can guess paid her and wrote another letter.
"The one with the poofy hair." Said Kuno.
"Momo." Said Nabiki.
Kuno paid her 1,000 more yen and wrote a fourth letter.
"Now the girl with the pigtail in Chinese clothing." Said Kuno.
"That doesn't sound like a description of one of the transfer students." Said a girl in class.
"What?" asked Kuno, "How do you know?"
"I heard was the transfer students look like. There is a girl in Chinese clothing but she has purple hair and a hard to describe hair style." Said the girl.
"Oh… not her…" said Kuno, "That girl! Dares to insult the great Tatewaki Kuno."
"Oh any girl who dares insult the "Great Tatewaki Kuno" doesn't get a letter?" asked the girl, "You know, I have no idea what you're doing nor do I want to."
The girl walked away deciding for the time being just to ignore her classmate, Nabiki however still had to talk to him due to the business agreement they had.
He wrote the letter despite not knowing the girl's name (or the fact that she was really a boy) and instead labeling it for the tree borne kettle girl.
"Now tell be about the one with the pink hair." Said Kuno
"Chiyo…" sighed Nabiki.
He once again paid her and began to write the letter.
"And the girl who's from somewhere in Europe, I don't know where but she defiantly wasn't from America." Said Kuno.
"Belle." Sighed Nabiki.
"That's all I needed to know." Said Kuno giving her the final 1,000 yen.
Kuno wrote his final letter and handed them all to Nabiki.
She looked at the letters and sighed, she knew this wasn't going to end well. Esspeiclly with Fluttershy since she could tell the Pegasus would be able to fight, let alone Kuno.
That afternoon at the Tendo Dojo… the 6 ponies were in their true forms, lying next to the table as did Shampoo and Ranma.
"So how was your first day of school?" asked Cologne.
"It was fun!" said Pinkie, "I can't wait to go again."
"Speak for yourself." Said Rainbow Dash.
"Oh come now, it wasn't that bad." Said Cologne.
"Akane gets harassed every morning by a large group of boys who wants to date her." Said Twilight.
"Well I guess that's one thing I need to work with her on." Said Cologne, "I went though a man hating faze myself when I was young, but that's another story for another time."
"And I bet it will involve what made you go though it showing up in a very unexpected way that's kind of scary but also really funny." Said Pinkie.
Cologne stared at her, not sure how to respond so she decided to ignore her.
"By the way, Applejack. I need your help with something." She said, "It involves Akane's training."
"Why me?" asked Applejack.
"You'll see when we begin." Said Cologne.
Meanwhile Akane was breaking some cement blocked with her fist outside the dojo.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Said Cologne, "Now we have to wait for your sparing partner."
"Who is it?" asked Akane.
"Let's get into the dojo and wait, I have the feeling she's getting into a fight with a certain dress making unicorn." Said Cologne.
Akane blinked, not sure which one would that was.
They waited a few minutes, to find Alex in a martial arts gi while holding a teakettle, she placed the teakettle by the door and walked over to where Akane and Cologne were standing.
"Sorry for taking too long, Rarity would let me wear any of my clothes." She said.
"Alex is still a beginner. You're probably more skilled than her, but I don't thin you would be able to handle the others with out them going easy on you." Said Cologne, "For the time being Applejack is your opponent."
Akane shrugged the two started the spar. As they spared, Akane noticed something, Alex didn't use her very much, most of it was kicks, and she even used her hand to block.
"I think that's enough." Said Cologne, "You may go Applejack."
"Okay." Said Alex headed to the door.
She picked up the teakettle and poured it on her, turning her back into the pony form and took of the gi.
Akane wondered why she changed so quickly.
"I think you noticed something." Said Cologne, "Applejack's fighting style."
"She mostly used her legs." Said Akane.
"That's right, each person… or ponies who changes into a human has their own style." Said Cologne, "Applejack uses her legs, Shampoo uses weapons most of the time, Rainbow Dash uses speed, Ryoga uses brute strength and Ranma… well he's a bit of a jack of trades."
"So why are you telling me this?" asked Akane.
"I think you should try out a few weapons before I make my final decision with how I train you." Said Cologne, "But we're save that for another day."
"But I don't know…" said Akane.
"I know all about the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts. In fact I once dated the founder." Said Cologne, "But that's a story for another time."
Akane could have sworn that her father once mentioned he trained under the founder. She wondered if it wads the same man.
It would have too much a coincidence if it were true.
"Anything Goes means Anything Goes." Said Cologne, "Unless the rules changed…"
"It's not that…" said Akane, "It's just that… never mind… I'm going to take a bath."
Cologne watched Akane leave and had the feeling that her reluctance to use weapons had to do with her hatred of men.
Meanwhile in the living room. Pinkie was watching T.V.
"This thing is amazing!" yelled Pinkie, "I can't believe there's something like that here!"
"I guess they don't have TVs in your universe." Said Ranma doing some stretches on the balcony.
"Can you turn it down, I'm trying to read." Said Twilight.
That was when Nabiki showed up.
"Hey do you know where others are?" asked Nabiki.
"We know where Rainbow Dash is." Said Ranma, who pointed to the garden.
Nabiki turned around and sweat dropped, she saw Rainbow Dash, lying on a cloud. It was below the eye line of the wall so no way able to see her.
"How is that possible." Said Nabiki who shook her head, "Never mind it's probably magic, you don't need to explain it."
She handed the letters to Pinkie, Ranma and Twilight.
"Hey! Wake up!" yelled Nabiki.
Rainbow Dash jolted awake.
"Huh… what's going on?" asked Rainbow Dash.
Nabiki held the letter labeled Ran and Rainbow Dash flew over to get it.
"That's strange, he knows I don't fight." Said Twilight.
"Thank you not giving my name by the way." Said Ranma.
"What's going on?" asked Rarity entering the room.
Nabiki gave her the letter.
"But I didn't even fight him…" said Rarity.
"Well he wants to me with all of you, for some reason." Said Nabiki.
"Don't worry, if you come we'll protect you." Said Rainbow Dash.
"That's… fine…" said Rarity holding in her rage.
"We have to talk to Applejack and Fluttershy about this." Sighed Twilight.
"Talk about what?" asked Applejack as when came into the room with Fluttershy.
"Well." Said Twilight.
The 7 began to talk about the letter and decided to do it, after all Kuno probably wouldn't rest until they all face each other.
That Sunday, they had come up with a plan, Ranma-Chan, Ran and Alex would act a first defense on the extremely unlikely off chance that they were fail they Hikaru and Momo would take over.
In the one in a billion chance that that he would defeat them all, they hoped that at Chiyo would use the stare.
That was when Kuno arrived with his hands behind his back.
"Where's your sword." Said Ranma-Chan.
" I do not need one today." Said Kuno, "Instead I have something to give you all."
He tossed out several things ate them. All them managed to catch tem… they were bouquets of roses.
"I know this might sound a little cruel." Aid Kuno, "But I have fallen in love with every single one of you. I'm sorry I have to scare my love but that's just how I feel."
They watched Kuno as he left. There was a stunned silence, the 6th ponies turned humans just stared wondering what happened.
However the silence ended when there was a loud thump. Ranma-Chan was on the ground processing the information.
"Sugar Cube, you okay?" asked Alex.
Ranma-Chan could only nod.
And of course this was only the beginning of the madness that would surely come.
Next Time: Ranma is dealing with the fact that Kuno is in love with his female side. So the best thing is to try to explain to him about Jusenkyo. Does it work... let's just he's not just an idiot. Also ponies learn that Akane is love with someone. But does he feel the same way? Find out next time!
